Community Bank of the Chesapeake and Calvert County Public Schools Announce New Partnership
Calvert County Public Schools is pleased to announce a new partnership between the school system and Community Bank of the Chesapeake. The school board’s decision to move its accounts to Community Bank was approved in September 2014, and accounts for all twenty-four schools were successfully transitioned over subsequent months.
“On behalf of the Calvert County Public School system, we would like to thank Community Bank for their efforts to make this transition not only a smooth one, but an enjoyable one as well,” said Anthony Navarro, Assistant Superintendent of Administration. “Community Bank’s passion for the community is something that comes through in every aspect of its work. We feel fortunate to work with a financial institution that shares our commitment to this region and to the success of our youth.”
The account conversion process was led by a team of experienced bankers under the direction of the bank’s Calvert County Market Manager and Assistant Vice President, Jean Gelatka. Working on an individual basis with each school’s administrative team, Community Bank representatives provided online banking training and support to users as accounts were converted.
“This is a wonderful opportunity for Community Bank of the Chesapeake, and we thank the Calvert County Public School system for entrusting us with these accounts,” said Bill Pasenelli, President and Chief Executive Officer for Community Bank of the Chesapeake. “Our team of bankers has had many opportunities over the last few months to spend time in the schools, get to know the staff at each location and understand the financial needs of the whole school system. We look forward to continuing to work with Mr. Navarro and the rest of the school board in the months ahead.”
